Courtesy Nissan have quoted a shipping price for their 'new from factorymanual gearbox priced at $1935.95 with the uprated internals'! They say they can ship it to me for $700 which gives a grand total of $2635.35. At the current exchange rate this equates to £1,363.56... What to you reckon the import tax will be? Do you reckon it would be worth the money? Is there any difference in the box from a US z to a UK/JDM z? Joel.

I had to register as a new user. I could not do anything in here. Read or post:( :confused: The thing is, I'm really interested in the japspeed exhaust that came up the the trade section, but I can't reply there :headvswal Didn't find any hints to way in the forum either before it all went to hell when I was in the user CP :rant:

does any one know if you can remove the rubber that goes around the rear window? and is it easy to do? :confused: Many thanks :D Nick

Yellow Zed seen at the custom spray shop in Royston, Barnsley today. was it you???????????????? :D

I noticed that my Zed was overboosting on the way up to the Pod yesterday. In 5th gear I was getting max boost readings of 19psi!!! I have a greddy profec b spec 2 and until yesterday this would not boost over about 17psi. I have not changed these settings since it was installed. I am going to check for any loose tubing as I know this could cause it. Is it possible that my wastegate is stuck in a shut position? What else could cause this? Thanks, Mike... P.S. I think this is why I got some quite impressive 1/4 mile times! LOL

Well I turned up to the warm up meet of the Zclub drag challenge yesterday. It was my first time up at the Pod but I think I did OK. My best time was 13.68 seconds and my best reaction time was 0.4 seconds. Think you can beat these times? Well get yourself up the Pod for the 1st qualifying event on the 1st April...

I am in the process of doing Zed research with a view to buying. The MPG situation however has me confused. I am looking fot a TT but peoples claimed mpg seem to vary enormously, from 13 - 25 combined. Can anyone tell me their calculated mpg over a good length of time for a stock engine. I currently get 30 in the bmw and i have a figure in my mind, below which i just cant do it, My fingers are crossed.

Silver Z. Gore Road New Milton. 5ish Sunday afternoon

I've got a weepy power steering pipe return - its weeping a little bit where it comes back into the resevoir and no matter what I do I cant sto pit - so my solution is to find a 10mm pipe joiner and cut the pipe and fit a new length of pipe on and see if that cures it - problem is I need a joiner quick - today really and live near Southport and Preston....Anyone got any ideas? Theres no way I can get the pipe off the resevoir without dismantling the resevoir - I'll have to cut it using a stanley knife..... Demon Tweeks have them so if no-one else has any ideas I'll have to make a detour and go there.... Cheers for any help!!
